Cor... being young sucks financially :p If only I was spending that, it's less than 10% of my premium!

So you pay over £739/year... bloody hell that's steep.
My D675 is £180/year FC, I'm even older than Ralph:rolleyes:

Well, last time I did a quote for me on the SV, the cheapest fully comp quote was £804.23, and that's with the bike having Alpha-dot, an alarm and being kept in a locked garage in one of the lowest areas for crime in the UK.
But TPF&T was only £263. Guess what I'm going for :D

a small correction, "Growing older is unavoidable, growing up is optional" ......;)
On the cost front, the premium cost can easily be made more cost effective no matter what age you are, insurance is normally time based (12 months), if you pay £1000 and do 5K miles a year that's 20p a mile, 10k makes it 10p a mile and so on.....basically just ride it more........:cool:
Cheers Mark.

I actually have 3 points on my license (SP50, speeding on the motorway).
Had to declare this whilst filling in the form.
Maybe for older people speeding points make the insurance cheaper?
Proves we can still move.
BTW, this is me on my SV:
